As Christians and Jews we should pray for her soul. Yes, she went afoul of virtue and and good conduct and she paid for it with her life. But she is in God’s hands now and none of us is perfect. She made mistakes like many young people do before they learn through life experience to become good citizens. She harmed no one but herself. May God show her mercy.

Barry is floating quickly into impeachment territory.
What more do we have to get on this Alinsky-ite liar to begin impeachment proceedings and just remove the virus from the host?? Benghazi, Fast&Furious, NSA, Tampering with public offices IRS, EPA, Solyndra, phony birth certificates, drone wars, seriously, how much more of this nation does Obama get to destroy before the “distinguished colleagues” in Congress start to wake up and smell the Victory Gin??

No mystery here. The left is in alliance with all groups that are anti-freedom, anti-Christian, anti-Tea Party, anti-conservative, anti-Republican. Good books on the subject written in recent times would be “Unholy Alliance” by David Horowitz and “The Grand Jihad” by Andrew McCarthy. Both books delve deep into the alliance networks between leftist radicals and radical Islam. And the alliance has existed for decades, you’ll be amazed to discover. As the old adage goes: “The enemy of my enemy is my best friend”. These freedom-hating radicals are putting aside their differences and working together to destroy American sovereignty and Christianity. The truth is, support for homosexual marriage, Sharia law in the U.S., mass immigration from Mexico, Carbon taxes, Obamacare, do not exist for humanitarian purposes, they have ultimately been brought about by the Progressives to change America into a Euro-style socialist democracy.

Good! I want them to strut their stuff in burkhas on the world stage. Then everyone will plainly see what oppression people live under in extreme Islamo-fascist countries.

Of course, as always, the leftwing news media in the US will get it all wrong and call it “wonderful change”, “Ooooh, all the pretty colored burkas”, “a triumph for multi-culturalism” and deliberately ignore the Sharia head-chopper enforcers in the studio.

The only people who would be celebrating would be the far-left loons celebrating the bombing by that mythical angry TeaParty memember and of course there hasn’t been one single incident of teaparty violence in the 5 years or so it’s been in existence. But even tho’ it is the far-left loons, the occupiers and their Jihadi allies causing 100% of the violence and murder and even right out in the open for everyone, including the media to see, you still have the “main-stream” media suggesting white men, swasitkas and teaparty members as the cause for all the violence. There are grown, mature(i assume), degreed journalists on Current TV who were acting out in front of the camera Thrusday, actually admitting that they hoped the bombers would be white men. The bitter partisanship and unbridled, unabashed hatred and intolerance in the msm has never been more off-the-wall than it is today.

This tells me that NOAA has been gradually infiltrated with Warmest environmentalists who have an agenda to carry out. 2 years ago when world temperatures were among the coldest ever recorded, the very same organizations were saying that the temperature fluctuations are no refutation of global warming. But now a few years later we have record warm temperatures and here they come to tell us that temperatures have everything to do with global warming. So, by their logic, if temperatures rise, that’s global warming/climate change. But if temperatures fall and produce the coldest winters on record -—well that’s global warming/climate change too.

Wow, a hard-core socialist country like Sweden is considered “prosperous” by these list compilers. IKEA is doing pretty well in the US, maybe that’s the main reason for Sweden’s “prosperity”. More like the government is prospering from the extremely high taxe dollars it confiscates from it’s citizens. Other than that I just wonder what criterion they are using to deem Sweden a propserous nation. And why isn’t Cuba on the list??? /sarc

If Sarah Palin had said something like this, even something far less viscious such as ‘Gee, I wouldn’t want my son or daughter to be gay’ and then afterward issued an apology, the outcome would be entirely different with the stampede of celeberity-Marxists like Tina Fey or Bladwin rushing to the cameras spewing their vile guts about the ‘intolerance’ and ‘mean-spiritedness’ of Republicans. See?, this is Marxism 101, they will not drive a wedge and divide themselves over someone speaking honestly about his hatred of homos if he is generally on the same political side as the celebrity left. This is a show of solidarity illustrating how they will support their own even if he is bigger intolerant hater than they accuse the right of being. But it’s kind of hilarious to see them go “off script” and slip up evey now and then, and then watch their phony celeberity allies attempt to do damage control -—after it’s too lat. LOL!

I bet these videos were originally planned to come out in another month for a big anti-Romney “october surprise”. And of course, the media would dutifully follow along playing the game along with the administration as they would have spun into action a daily, coordinated smash-mouth uproar over all of these “controversial” statements right up to election day.

Well it looks like the current Islamist uprising across the middle east is starting to have an effect on the administration and now there’s new credible information that the Obama may have had prior knowledge about the Benghazi and it’s highly unlikely that the current mayhem has anything to do with a silly, practically unknown and unseen anti-Islam video. What better way to take a little heat off Obama by diverting the public’s attention to a new Romney “scandal”.

We’ll have to see how much staying-power these Romeny videos will have. I don’t think they can equal the staying-power of the millions of violent, radical Islmaicists who are daily putting the lie to Obama’s “Muslim Spring”, or the questions that need to be answered about how much the administration knew beforhand about the embassy bombing and in the aftermath, it’s attempt to cover it up.

"+15 Dems means Romney leading by 6 by their poll. The media is not telling you the truth...again."

Exactly. Any of those who actually still believe om these partisan, wildly inaccurate, Democrat driven polls are among the truly naive. I am amazed at how brazenly consistent these polls are in oversampling Democrats by a wide margin. +15 Democrats, this is compleley bogus! They have the gall to call this a legitimate, statistically accurate poll? Please. This is just another attempt by the media to depress and demoralize the Romney voter. And it won't work. I would love to see the look of shock and dismay on the faces of these sham polsters on election day when millions of Romney voters stampede to the polls to vote the Marxist-in-chief out of office.

Is that a Norfolk? My Westie used to give chase to anything in sight that wasn’t human. He even injured a cat once but not because he bit it, he chased it off a 2nd floor balcony and the cat jumped, landed on its feet and just kind of limped away. Poor kitty. But he has killed mice, squirrels, possums, always chases cats. But like some terrier breeds he will not chase down birds. He seems to like hangin’ with the sparrows and the starlings and the jays. And they like him around because they know he keeps the cats away. Will chase pigeons tho’. I notice now since he has turned 10 y.o. critters will come into our yard and he is happy to just hang and watch.

Does look just like him. What a sad day for American that this Occupy scum vents his hatred and anger on innocent people. It’s bad enough all of the violence, rape and lawbreaking the Occupiers have engaged in in their year-long traveling hate-fest, and now it culminates in this hideous act of mass murder.

Uhh, I won’t shut up. We now find out Holmes is a registered Democrat. Registered this past June 11th. That’s bad enough. But, when it finally comes out that he is Occupy scum, the entire evil, violent leftwing OWS movement will have used up any shred of credibility it ever had. The media will ignore Holmes ties to leftwing groups. But we here at Free Republic will keep digging, doing the job that the spineless Obama media fear to do. Prepare to bopped on the head with a hard dose of reality.

Don't you worry your little head, when it finally comes out that Holmes is a registered Democrat and a dedicated Occupier, the media will jetison this story like a hot potato. Remember, Democrats,liberals and leftists can never be wrong --- Occupy freaks of nature included. XD

I see these polls all the time. They very frequently, not all the time but more often than not -— oversample Democrat voters by a significant margin, usually interview “registered voters” not “likely” voters, run their interviews during daytime hours when younger voters are likely to be home and not working or not the priniciple owner of the house, usually sample only 800-1200 respondents -— not exactly what you would call a large cross-section of the populace. In essence, the vast majority of these polls are virtually meaningless, but the news organizations know exaclty how use the results of these polls to attempt to sway public opinion.

Absolutely. “Spiking the ball” is more than just gloating because it shows Obama and his minions on the left how much the American people abhoar his intrusive, oppressive, unconstitutional, and unbelievably expensive health care mandate. Spiking the ball is especially called for in this situation because it demonstrates the will of the American voter to follow through in massive opposition to the tyrannical over-reaching of the executive branch.

It’s not at all hideous. It’s really a beautiful park -— and I’m a Yankee fan. I’ve already been there 5 times to see Yank/Mets interleague games. The hideous “hall of shame” park you’re probably referring to was old Shea Stadium, the Met stadium prior to Citi Field which had seating, restroom, drainage and viewing problems all over the place. While nothing can compare to Yankee stadium, I have to hand it to the Mets — they have built a very attractive, fun comfortable stadium that all Met fans can be proud of.

I see that Governer Moonbeam is dilligently carrying out the Marxist orders of the Wildlands Project and Agenda 21. Pretty soon we will begin seeing Californians riding bicycles to work with state mandated carbon-capturing masks affixed to their heads. Oh, except for the rich celebs and pols who vote the right way and send in truckloads of cash the Democrat party and the myriad of Soros front groups --- they can stay in their mansions, keep their private jets and have multiple gas-guzzling foreign sports cars in their multi-bay 2000 sqare foot garages. The real people of California better revolt pretty soon or the state will tax them into the poorhouse and they'll all be living in grass huts with Gilligan's Island technology.

Let a Tea Partier go up to the mike to read a few lines from the U.S. Constitution and media reacts as if Hitler is giving speeches at a Nuremburg rally.

Let the violent brown-shirt punks in the OWS mobs run rampant all over the city committing violence and destruction of property, defacing like it's krystalnacht nostalgia night, and the media doesn't even bat an eyelash.

Obama did say before he was elected that he hoped to bankrupt the coal industry, and that energy prices under my administration “would necessarily skyrocket”. Obama’s words verbatum. You can even see the video of Obama saying this on Youtube. Now, how does a guy who probably knows nothing about coal industry or coal, come to despise them so much that he hopes to bankupt them, forcing tens of thousands into unemployment, making it more difficult and expensive for the average consumer to heat their homes? Answer: He is paying back his big environmentalist extremist donors who in turn, got most of their cash from Dr. Evil, George Soros. So in effect, George Soros is now controlling federal energy policy by putting whole energy industries out of business and this will eventually worsen and deepen the nation’s unemployment picture. Oh wait, I almost forgot in 20 years or so we will all heat and power our homes and run our cars with algae and solar and wind and biodegradable trash. I just can’t wait for that day — so exciting! In the meantime all we have to do is begin to save lots of our income (if we even have a job) to pay off that monthly home electric bill that will soon average about $600, because Obama thinks it’s better to bankrupt the coal industry than for Americans to have access to cheap energy. What in blazes were the American people thinking when they put this nincompoop in the White House??? I mean, Bush certainly wasn’t the greatest, but this guy is a complete disaster for anything that is good or valuble in America. Vote him the f**k out of there already!

Right. The so-called “mainstream” media has been writing the script on this incident since it first began. It’s amazing how far they will go to brazenly lie and misinform without a shred of conscience in order to get the political effect they are hoping for —— black Americans rushing to the polls to vote for Obama again this Novemeber. The aftermath of this charade almost guarantees it. I guess all the internal polling is revealing an indifference among potential black voters this season. Nothing like stirring up the ol’ pot of hate and racism to get the black folk to the polls on election day.
Only problem for the lying, instigators in the media, death threats against innocent people and the possibility of someone who is really and truly innocent being injured or murdered because of their phony, irresponsible fabrications are now a real possibility.

Right from the get-go the media had access to all the info in the police report -— but they only reported certain facts, left out other vital facts, like George Zimmerman had stated that he was defending himself, that he had broken off the pursuit. The media was perfect about reporting that Zimmerman shot Trayvon but they were abysmally less than perfect about reporting the circumstances that led up to the shooting —— like Trayvon deciding to retaliate on Zimmerman. In the early
‘flash news’ reports, I don’t ever remember hearing this fact. The first wind I got of Zimmerman protecting himself from Trayvon was in the Orlando Sentinel investigation.
But here was the media reporting only half-truths with the obvious intention of misleading the public into believing that this was a racial profiling and racial hate incident —fanning the flames of hate, enraging a nation against a man (and an entire family) who we know now is probably innocent. If any Zimmerman family member dies or is seriously injured because of the insane backlash, the media giants that disseminated this gigantic bogus lying mountain of trash; should be sued for all they are worth -—— and that includes all the viscious, loud-mouth race hustlers and the low-life dirtbags in Hollywood who are laughing while stirring the pot, like Roseann Barr and Spike Lee.

Right. Time for the radicals to act fast for fear that this solid, “slam-dunk” case will turn out to be another Duke Lacrosse hoax with the liberals coming out with egg on their faces. If the left-wing radicals who perpetuate these hoaxes can get enought national poltical pressure and exploit this hoax to further anti-firearms, anti 2nd Ammendment legislation -— then they can consider this whole thing a “win” even if the nation has to bear a few murderous riots, people fearing to go out of their houses and more publicity for racist/hate groups like the Black Panthers —— no matter, the left/progressives/Democrats gets what they want. In the end, that’s all that matters.

Political correctness is the single worst cancer to infect US culture in my lifetime

Right. It's the leftist way of limiting speech. Always has been, going back to the late '70s when pc was first being theorized and field-tested by radical college professors. At that time "free speech" to say nasty things about America, flag burnings, etc. was being advocated and promoted by foul-mouthed comics, leftist political leaders, college professors, their brain-washed radical students, and anyone else who had a gripe against America, It was necessary they said, to voice their opinons, no matter how unpopular, to let their feelings be known in a free society without the government or some governing body come in and tell them that they can't or shouldn't say this or that. But just like the hypocrites they have always been, as soon as they got a little bit of power and started hearing things that they didn't agree with or couldn't tolerate, they began instituting politically correct solutions to keep certain groups from saying things the left didn't agree with. So political correctness in its current form is nothing more than the limitation of certain types of speech that the left cannot tolerate. Of course, they don't say 'uh, we're taking your right of speech away to prohibit you from saying what we find so objectionable'. No they couldn't say this because they would be exposed for the fascistic hypocrites that they truly are --- that they can say or use profane language against whomever they care to or whomever they disagree with politically --- but you and I on the other side of the political spectrum, can't. So political correctness is nothing more than a way the far left can limit speech without actually having to admit that they are in fact limiting freedom of speech. This from the same people who, ironically, toiled and struggled so mightily back in the '60s amd '70s to be free to express themselves however they wish, now that they have attained high positions of decision-making power are reinstituting limitations on speech to construct their fairy-tale perfect, secular utopian society.

Typical liberal limosine leninist hypocrite. Sarandon to the protesters: “Yeah proles, fight the power, eat the rich! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get this limo to the airport for my private flight to Italy. I’m having dinner on the Po in Venice this evening and I shant be late. I mean, if I didn’t have such a busy schedule flying all around the world and hob-nobbing with the celebrity elite, I’d be out there marching in the streets right along side you comrades. You understand don’t you, comrades? Fight the power! [raises her fist-in-the-air then pulls it back in, adjusts her pearl necklace, rolls up the tinted window and signals her chauffeur to drive off].

Well, I disagree. I do agree that say, 30 or 45 years ago when the life expectancy for the average American male was like 66. But advances in medicine, & nutrition, acknowledgement of the dangers of smoking, better economies, higher standards of living, abundance of healthy food, etc. has and will increase life expectancy for all Americans. At 50, I just had my first child 4 years ago (a boy) and another last year at 53. I strength train, stay healthy, eat well. At 54 people tell me I look like man in his mid 30s. I plan to be around for my son’s college graduation and the birth of my grandson or daughter. Age is just a number. It’s all about how well you live. My grampa lived to be 92 my grandma lived to 98. I think I’ll be around for a while.

First off, this highly unrelaible poll samples "adults" 18 y.o and up. Take into consideration that Obama got a huge turnout from the 18-25 age group, that's going to skew the numbers in favor of a tax hike right there. Nothing against the 18-25 age group, but lets face it, many of us older Americans think a lot differently and have an entirely changed set of political values than we had 20 or 30 years ago. Most in the 18-25 are not buying homes, dealing with major financial decisions, many are still in college getting spoon-fed a steady diet of leftist/Marxist misinformation.

Total poll respondents 1,274 --- out of how many millions of registered voters???

Further more, just as in nearly every other major poltical poll, the Democrats are once again oversampled as are the independents and the resultant Republican opinion is weakened and watered down as a minority response. Had they been able to sample an equal number of Democrats and Republicans with a significant minority of of independents, you know the results for an Obama tax hike would look a lot differet.

I love to hear my non-musical friends tell me that Moon, Ringo and Ginger are the greatest drummers of all-time. You can always determine the musical ability of someone when they start throwing those names out at you as "the greatest". Not that I don't like Ringo and Moon --- I really do. But how can you take such statements seriously with drummers like Bernard Perdie, Harvey Mason, Dave Weckl, Jeff Pocaro, Buddy Rich, Ed Shaughnessy, Louie Belson, Bill Bruford, Ian Pace, Carl Palmer and Steve Gadd??!?? I like Peart too, but he has just become too over-rated. Bonzo's a legend - probably would have also been considered a very accurate player too had not his constant drinking messed up his timing.

I know the RNC will not help, they are terrified of being Mean, Racist or disrespectful of the process. So Sharon would be on her own, the result would only weaken her as a poor loser and deprive her of seed money for her next race

And by who's terms, MS-NBC's? Remember Loyal, we are not living in 1985 anymore when Sam Donaldson was the final word in politics. American people have plenty of other ways and sources to get information.

The media can't tell you that Reid won and there was no fraud and leave it at that. The Tea Partiers are changing all of that. If the MSM call Angle a "racist" or "mean-spirited" there will be at least 10 times that many alternative sources challenging that accusation --- sources that didn't even exist 10 or 15 years ago. The msm is frightened of this and they love it when Republican politicians cower and fear the same old partisan Democrat windbags threatening to smear their reputations if they don't play politics the Democrat way.

I say if we see or suspect voter fraud, investigate it, report it, parade it before the American electorate and snuff it out before it spreads like a virus throughout the rest of the nation -- because it will if we just turn our backs and worry about what names the msm will call us if we decide to start looking under a few rocks.

Look at how "buckhead" right here on Free Republic started a national avalanche of accusation and suspicion that netted none other than Dan Rather and his eager accomplice Mary Mapes in a major fraud investigation---fabricating phony documents to hurt Bush during the '04 election. Mapes to this day, still can't believe it. That watershed incident alone should prove to you the power we, the average voters, now have over the media elite.

I see, so the Democrats see people vote in a fair and honest non-fraudulent fashion, this is somehow voter fraud. Only when Democrats have free reign to control elections, steal votes, bring mentally retarded people to the polls and tell them what buttons to push, rig voting booths so that the Democrat is elected no matter which candidate one chooses, post violent black supremicists outside voting centers wielding billy clubs, only then is it a “fair” election. Yeah, right.

Rove’s on FOX right now, once again launching into an assault on O’Donnell’s past that has nothing to do with her campaign or the issues. He’s smearing her reputation based on a her past taxes and the fact that her house was in foreclosure. More and more Rove is starting to sound like just another garden-variety msm liberal spin-meister ala Mat Lauer or Fat Ed. What a shame.

The MSM only questions “who’s behind” the video when a Democrat or Liberal is being exposed or confronted. I don’t ever recall an MSM reporter or talking head wonder “who was behind” the George Allen “Macakca” video. The Bush drinking video that appeared on the eve of the 2000 election was proudly shown on every prime-time news show, without hesitation or consideration about “who was behind” the video. So here it is once again, the liberal media double-standard, videos that confront conservatives are celebrated and shown over and over again, and videos that target liberals and Democrats immediately have their source and validity questioned.

All this anti-tea pary negativity expressed by Democrat-run media. They’re only contriving these polls with the hope that they can break up the tea party movement before November. Just look at the behavior of the SEIU, ACORN, celebrities like Bill Maher, Behar, Jon Stewart, etc....Major criticsm coming from just about every sector of broadcast media. Why do the media types get all worked up over an allegedly dying movement, hmmm? Does this look like a movement that’s about to collapse?? Would SEIU and other media-types conspire so persistenly to keep tea party negatives on the front page or the top story if it really was a movement that was collapsing?? Watch what the media does -— not what they say. I’m sure the liberal partisans in the media will do whatever they feel is necessary to help collapse the t.p. movement, but that doesn’t actally mean that the movement is collapsing -— on the contrary, the t.p. movement is getting stronger and more popular every day. I’m seeing a regular increase in membership at the meeting place I go to in New Jersey every month. So, just let the msm go on playing ‘let’s pretend’ for the next 5 months, it’s make victory in November all the more sweet.

"Peace; Diversity; GLBT; Abortion; MultiCulturalism; and Environment are their main concerns today.

Add to that list, wiping Israel off the face of the map, murdering Jews, oh and instituting world-wide Sharia law.

There are three Cuban women in my company along with one Puerto Rican woman, a Brazilian woman who also runs her own cleaning company and a girl from Portugal in her late 20s and having known them for some time I can tell you they're all rock-ribbed Republicans and do not like and did not vote for Obama. A couple still have their McCain/Palin bumper stickers on their cars. They are especially sensitive to the immigration issue, because all of them either struggled to escape Communist oppression in Cuba and respect their freedom or went through the normal, legal immigration channels. They are all against the current illegal immigration that's occuring at the border and freely express their anger against the politics of the Democrat party that sanction and support it. So I can tell you first hand, not all Hispanics are automatic Democrat voters at the polls.

.....and more great news about Matt Lauer —— On his morning radio show today, Imus said he saw Matt hurriedly walking around the offices of FOX News trying not to be noticed. Could Matt be coming to FOX? Everyone said ‘No Way!’ when the rumors of Geraldo moving to FOX began to surface. Now Lauer —— please say it ain’t so! Roger don’t do this to us!!
